We, some of us anxiously, await the hatching of Osplet #2(#4) laid on 23 April. Osplet #1(#3) laid on 20 April is thriving, it will be a formidable elder sibling. Let's hope it takes after Star/Tore, who, whilst she didn't hesitate to put Storm/Bynack in his place, generally waited until she was bashed before she laid into him. Fond memories :-*
Today should be the day.
A little clucking came from under EJ a few minutes ago when she shifted:

You do get one.....for having Osprey Eyes and spotting number two, perhaps now known as 'Moffalot' ....well done ;-p

EJ gets up for a bit of housekeeping and a wing-stretch
Chicks stir and start calling for attention, but she continues to resist the stale fish and just snuggles back down on them again.
and then nibbles on the end of the fish herself
ooh, and then she dragged the fish across the nest and nearly stood on her babies!

Hi, Scylla - here she is arriving back:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
